The easiest way to propagate this lovely lily is to save the seeds of the dried flower pods after the blooms dried up. (1) pull off all dead dried stems. (2) crush the dried seed pods with your foot softly. (3) collect the big round brown seeds (4) dig a small 1" deep hole in moist good soil and place a seed per hole in a cluster for best results. ( 5) transplant small growth that are 6" tall to a sunny spot where you want a show of color. It is more difficult to transplant when the root tubers are formed.
